Ontario’s public sector needs to take a proactive approach to access and privacy – progressing beyond “patchwork adoption” of open government

Summary  TORONTO – Experts from the Office of Ontario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) will make the case for taking a proactive approach at the 2011 Information Management and Access and Privacy Symposium Thursday morning at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (South building).

Brian Beamish, Assistant Commissioner for Access, will discuss the benefits of Access by Design (AbD) as it relates to the open data and open government movement. The concept of AbD was developed by Commissioner Cavoukian to provide a set of fundamental principles that encourage a proactive approach to releasing government-held information. The objective is to foster a culture of transparency and accountability, where access is the default.
